Rural Electrification
President of the national electric light asso
ciation, R. F. Pack, emphasized the fact that in oraer
to bring about rural electrification on any appreciable
scale, both the power companies and the farmer will
have to look on the farm as a factory and apply
electricity in a multiplicity of ways to increase output
and cut labor costs the same as it has been done
in the city factories.
He pointed out that it is an economic impos
sibility to deliver small amounts of electric energy
to scattered farms at a reasonable price and that
failure of most rural lines in the past has been due
to farmers limiting use of electricity io lighting.
“ It is up to agricultural colleges, manufactur
ers of both electrical equipment and farm imple
ments and last, but most important of all, the
farmers themselves, to cooperate with the power
companies iu bringing about rural electrification,”
he said.
♦‘Experimental lines in twenty states built by
power companies have shown that there are more
than a hundred practical ways for use of electricity
on the farm.
“ Nine-tenths of the cost of bringing electricity
to the farm is in distribution and farmers should not
be fooled by those who talk about developing water
power as an aid to bringing electricity to the farm.
If electricity could be produced for nothing it would
have little effect on the cost of service to the farm
er, for the costs of distribution greatly outweigh
those incurred by generation of electric energy.”
More Hokum
Congress, in response to a noisy appeal, has
passed an act barring pistols from the mails. There
is now no way in which they can be shipped except
by express, automobile, airplane, ship or other con
veyance not employed by the United States poet-
office. Thus the heinous mail order traffic in re-
rolvers has been stopped and sellers of’ these fire
arms are compelled to adopt’ the more innocent
.method of express, automobile, airplane, ship, etc.,
delivery.
\
There are a few exceptions noted in the bill,
however. Revolvers can still be sent by mail to
manufacturers of firearms who are thus able to
repair them and return them to their owners by
eyyess, airplane, etc., etc. They can also be sent
through the m ails1 to bona fide dealers, who can
sell them over the counter to anyone who has a
permit to carry a gun. Thns the terrible business
of selling revolvers to all but about 110,000,000 of
our citizens has received a check.
Congress had before it a bill introduced by Rep.
McLeod of Detroit which aimed to prevent shipment
of revolvers to interstate traffic. This measure
might have had a sad effect on gunmen in states
that possessed no plant capable of assembling a
revolver, but the bill was not considered.
The bill which congress did pass does not go into
effect until ninety days have expired. Gunmen are
notoriously thriftless and will probably make no
effort to stock up during this period. Perhaps,
however, they figure there are various ways of get
ting weapons iu spite of the act. They will find,
however, except by express, automobile, airplane,
ship, etc., etc., or by purchase from a bona fid«
dealer.

Penalyzing Fire Carelessness
The United States has done little regarding per
sonal responsibility for damages done to others by
fires caused by carelessness. In Indiana, however, an
owner of property may be held liable for damage
done by fire to another’s property, provided this
damage was occasioned by failure to comply with an
order of the state fire marshal.
Authority of the state fire marshal includes mak
ing and issuing orders for abatement or removal of
fire hazards and includes ordering o f repairs to or the
complete removal of buildings found to come within
the purview of the act, as well as enforcement of
regulations pertaining to storage, Use, manufacture,
sale, handling and trans|>ortatiou of all classes of
combustibles and explosives.
The owner of projierty, condemned as a fire haz
ard, who persists in maintaining it in such u condition
despite the order of the state fire marshal, may be
held liable in damages t<f others whose property ia
reduced in rental value or otherwise by reason of
condition of condemned property or w'hose insurance
upon their own projiorty are increased by reason of
such condition. *
If other states would follow the lead of ludiaua
and adopt such a law, it would do much to lessen fire
hazards and reduce fire losses in our country.
